Top 15 Countries I Have Been To By Time Spent There

Top 15 Countries I Have Been To By Time Spent There

As you backpack through endless countries you’re constantly bumping your “day counts per country” up. Being based in Poland since 2016, this country soared up my life living rankings to number 4 and is now challenging Hong Kong for the bronze medal. It’s unlikely Northern Ireland will ever be knocked off the top spot in this crackaday list.

Gold medal to my homeland beckons. I spent well over 25 years there. I lived there for 23 years, spending on average only 3 weeks per year outside the country. However for the last 20 years it has been the opposite. Since 2003 I have averaged less than three weeks per year in my beloved Northern Ireland. I left to see the world.
